Overheight Cargo

Definition

Overheight Cargo refers to shipments that exceed the maximum height restrictions set for standard containers or transport equipment. It includes goods or equipment that cannot fit within the typical height limits due to their dimensions or structural characteristics. Overheight cargo may require special handling, such as securing permits, using specialized transportation equipment, or obtaining clearance for low-clearance structures such as bridges or tunnels.
